42235 Ferrari 488 Pista
Cardboy replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Also why is the front badge a sticker when the https://www.lego.com/en-gb/product/ferrari-daytona-sp3-42143 has a printed part I think less people would complain about a printed part being a bit large over a sticker -

On the Lego website with new images you can see the new axle will be 3.5 with stop in dark blue pat on the back for all those who worked it out before So we will be getting at least 6 in this set -

Worm gears are the least slippy but very slow and knob gears are great but at the same ratio, so good for getting from the motor to the source of operation without loosing force. Knob gears keep the axel at fixed degrees so also very good for alignment then you only need to set the last gear. Also if your having skipping you may want to reduce the mechanical load by reducing the ratio or using larger gears at the same ratio. z8 gears are notorious for skipping and breaking as they are so small. Make sure you have adequate bracing to stop the gears separating, which increases slipping. Place gears right after the brick/beam to stop the axle bending. I think the new yellow differential gears can take a lot of force but you will need to lock the differential which then becomes very bulky- 5,776 replies

As @kbalage didn't include a look at the part list in there video this time. does anyone know if there are any new parts like the 4.5 axel with stop or is it just the recoloured panels and tyres? -

Plans can be purchased here You might be thinking, “I have never heard of the Lamborghini Sivello”. This is my own idea for a Lamborghini concept car. I began with the idea for doors that would roll into the body of the car and thought it would best suit a Lamborghini. Also, this was a nice excuse to use the printed parts from the Lego Sian 42115. The idea is for it to be a single-seater track car that can be also used on the road. Along with the door concept, I wanted an F1-style front suspension and a rear suspension that is attached to the engine, as well as a large spoiler that can be deployed for extra downforce and grip. The car has removable passenger seats, and an open front to channel air, improve front grip and cornering. The model seemed to take for ever to come together I must have rebuilt the front suspension 20 times and only with the new parts from the 2025 F1 cars was it possible to make something strong enough for this size of car. The door mechanism works well when done correctly I hope is easy enough to follow. let me know what you think Features and functions: · gull wing and roll under doors · openable engine bay · adjustable rear spoiler · independent F1-style front suspension · removable passenger seats · Ackermann steering geometry · 6 + N + R sequential gearbox without the need for a drive and reverse selector · paddle shift gear selection · rear-wheel drive · detailed v12 engine and exhaust Dimensions: Length: 75 studs (61cm); Width: 36 studs (28.7 cm); Height: 22 studs (17.5 cm) Weight: 2.9 Kg

Studio 2.0 Help
Cardboy replied to Sjitbox1337's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I find that if you select the pin then the beam that you want to rotate you have better luck the order of selection can be important. Check that the beam you want to move is not clipping any other part of the model except the pin its connected to or studio thinks there linked. Also use the side and front view numbers 1-6 on the number pad this will lock the camera making it easier to line up the holes. This works well if you move the part way from the model with the transform tool. I find that if when you select rotate, single click on the dot between the arrows the will bring up the rotation circle. moving the mouse inside the circle is in 5 degree increments. outside is free rotation for fine control. also if you click in the white box you can type the exact angle you want. -
